豪香味

It does seem that one of the coffeeshops at Blk 123 Bedok North Street 2 had recently been through a little bit of a revamp — now a coffeeshop that is being run by BK Eating House, the coffeeshop does seem to be occupied by a number of new stalls. One of such stalls would be that of 豪香味 which takes up half of a stall unit sharing its space with another tenant that serves up Popiah and Rojak. 豪香味 is a stall that is dedicated to serving up Malaysian-style curry noodles — these folks do offer different variants featuring different meat / seafood options that patrons can opt for.

We went with the Fried Pork Curry Noodle Bee Hoon during our visit to 豪香味 that was made on a weekend dinner service. Whilst the menu does only indicate Bee Hoon in all of the dishes that they have to serve up, it is interesting to note that all dishes do come with the option of either coming with yellow noodles / Bee Hoon or both. From our order of the Fried Pork Curry Noodle Bee Hoon , one can observe the inclusion of Hakka Fried Pork for the dish; the other elements included will be the likes of mint leaves, fish cake, fried beancurd skin and long beans — this apart from the curry gravy as well as our choice of mix of yellow noodles and Bee Hoon. Going for the curry gravy, we did like that the curry gravy was fragrant without being particularly heavy-tasting; quite easy to have. Mixing in the sambal does further add a dimension of spiciness to the noodles — the spiciness being at a level which will work well for those whom are tolerable to moderate levels of spiciness. The fried pork does come a little bit on the leaner side for the meat; the batter being still crisp though does come with a hint of umami from the use of fermented beancurd during the preparation process. All other elements like the long beans, fish cake and the fried beancurd skin were good to have, though the addition of mint leaves was an interesting one that gave a cooling sensation when chewed upon.
